A standard independent simultaneous source (ISS) shooting method was used in Trinidad, while a combination of ISS and self-simultaneous shooting (SSS) was used in the North Sea. Two source boats were used with both simultaneous source surveys. Continuous recording was used to reduce the volume of data and simplify the acquisition. It was found that the quality of the processed images and gathers from both simultaneous source surveys were very similar to the quality of conventional surveys, but the acquisition was significantly more efficient.}, url = {http://earthdoc.eage.org/publication/publicationdetails/?publication=68897}, doi = {10.3997/2214-4609.20130081} } @article{hampson2008aus, author = {Gary Hampson and Joe Stefani and Fred Herkenhoff}, title = {Acquisition using simultaneous sources}, journal = {The Leading Edge}, volume = {27}, number = {7}, pages = {918-923}, doi = {10.1190/1.2954034}, year = {2008}, abstract = {We present a technique in which two or more shots are acquired during the time it normally takes to acquire one shot. The two (or more) shots are fired in a near simultaneous manner with small random time delays between the component sources. A variety of processing techniques are applied to produce the same seismic images which would have resulted from firing the simultaneous shots separately. These processing techniques rely on coherency of the wavefield in the common-shot domain and unpredictability in the common-receiver, common-offset, and common-midpoint domains. We present results of its application on synthetic 2D, real 2D, and real 3D data from the Gulf of Mexico. These results demonstrate that, in deep water with modest water-bottom reflectivity, no special processing is required, whereas in shallower water with stronger water-bottom reflectivity, the use of shot-separation techniques is necessary. We conclude that this technique can be used robustly to improve source sampling and, for example, to acquire data from a range of azimuths simultaneously. This has important implications for the economics of wide-azimuth acquisition.}, URL = {http://tle.geoscienceworld.org/cgi/content/abstract/27/7/918}, eprint = {http://tle.geoscienceworld.org/cgi/reprint/27/7/918.pdf} } @article{berkhout2008cms, author = {A.

Moreover, the cost of 3D seismic acquisition and processing often plays a significant role in determining whether or not a prospect is economic. Unit costs of seismic data acquisition and processing have dropped dramatically as the technology has matured; however, these economies have raised demand for larger and more complex acquisition plans. More than ever, there is a great need to gain efficiency. In this article, I discuss a field experiment carried out to test the feasibility of employing marine sources activated simultaneously. Simultaneous source firing has long been recognized as a possible strategy for achieving dramatic cost reductions in seismic data acquisition. This approach is novel in that it does not require source-signature encoding (although such encoding combined with this approach is beneficial), but, rather, relies on spatial-source positioning to allow for separation of the signals in subsequent data processing. Appropriate data processing sequences separate the interfering signals quite effectively, and this approach may be an attractive economic option for acquiring large 3D surveys, particularly when multiple vessels are already employed as in today's multiazimuth surveys.}, url = {http://tle.geoscienceworld.org/cgi/content/abstract/27/7/914}, eprint = {http://tle.geoscienceworld.org/cgi/reprint/27/7/914.pdf} } @inproceedings{deKok2002eage, author = {R.J. de Kok and D.

In this abstract, we combine primary estimation and sparsity-promoting migration into one convex-optimization process to include information from multiples.

This new generation differs from the previous one by the approach taken to compute accurate curvelet coefficients from irregularly sampled data. The first generation relies on accurate Fourier coefficients obtained by an l2-regularized inversion of the nonequispaced fast Fourier transform (FFT) whereas the second is based on a direct l1-regularized inversion of the operator that links curvelet coefficients to irregular data. Also, by construction the second generation NFDCT is lossless unlike the first generation NFDCT. This property is particularly attractive for processing irregularly sampled seismic data in the curvelet domain and bringing them back to their irregular record-ing locations with high fidelity. Secondly, we combine the second generation NFDCT with the standard fast discrete curvelet transform (FDCT) to form a new curvelet-based method, coined nonequispaced curvelet reconstruction with sparsity-promoting inversion (NCRSI) for the regularization and interpolation of irregularly sampled data. We demonstrate that for a pure regularization problem the reconstruction is very accurate. The signal-to-reconstruction error ratio in our example is above 40 dB. We also conduct combined interpolation and regularization experiments. The reconstructions for synthetic data are accurate, particularly when the recording locations are optimally jittered. The reconstruction in our real data example shows amplitudes along the main wavefronts smoothly varying with limited acquisition imprint.}, keywords = {curvelet transforms, data acquisition,

This helps us to design a pragmatic time-jittered marine acquisition scheme where multiple source vessels sail across an ocean-bottom array firing airguns at {\textendash} jittered source locations and instances in time, resulting in better spatial sampling, and speedup acquisition. Furthermore, we can significantly impact the reconstruction quality of conventional seismic data (from jittered data) and demonstrate successful recovery by sparsity promotion. In contrast to random (under)sampling, acquisition via jittered (under)sampling helps in controlling the maximum gap size, which is a practical requirement of wavefield reconstruction with localized sparsifying transforms. Results are illustrated with simulations of time-jittered marine acquisition, which translates to jittered source locations for a given speed of the source vessel, for two source vessels.}, keywords = {Acquisition, blending, deblending, interpolation, jittered sampling, marine, OBC, SEG}, doi = {10.1190/segam2013-1391.1}, url = {https://www.slim.eos.ubc.ca/Publications/Public/Conferences/SEG/2013/wason2013SEGtjo/wason2013SEGtjo.pdf}, presentation = {https://www.slim.eos.ubc.ca/Publications/Public/Conferences/SEG/2013/wason2013SEGtjo/wason2013SEGtjo_pres.pdf}, author = {Haneet Wason and Felix J.
